Winterbourne Bassett Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Richardson Village, Winterbourne Bassett The property in the image is Richardsons Cottage. There isn't an apostrophe shown on the 1:25K map of it so I haven't included it either. The land area to the left of the cottage is the site of a mediaeval village called Richardson.

'Other route with public access', near Hackpen, Wiltshire This route is marked at the entrance off the main road as being unsuitable for motor vehicles. I've seen worse not so marked. The higher ground on the skyline is Hackpen Hill. This was a day with difficult light; hazy and flat somehow. I've tweaked the contrast and colour balance a bit with limited success.
A view of Hackpen Hill, near Winterbourne Bassett The hill itself is out of the square. The cultivated land between it and the viewpoint is mostly within it. The white horse is at SU127748.
Looking west along the byway to Winterbourne Bassett The byway is shown as another route with public access on the maps, which I think means that it is a restricted byway. It opens onto the A4361 in the direction of view.

Friendly staff. Good service in bar and restaurant. Only down side was that I had booked a twin room - but there was hardly any room between beds , so not really suitable for friends sharing
